Dimdim Unleashes the “Eagle”

Dimdim LogoI’ve always been anticipating every major release of Dimdim. In my view, Dimdim is one of the coolest open source project around. Its promise of a rich media collaboration for all is something I’d really love to see happen. Dimdim is the world’s free open source web meeting company whose mission is to become the leading provider of open source web meeting software. Since launch, it has been used in 165 countries by over 350,000 people.


Dimdim is marching on. After starting on private beta, it is now open on public beta and just recently released the Open Source Community Edition Version 3.5, codenamed “Eagle”. The “Eagle” release includes the following new and improved features:

* Unlimited meeting attendees
* Unlimited simultaneous meetings
* 2-way video chat and webcam sharing
* Multi-attendee VoIP and microphone sharing
* Easy software appliance download which runs on multiple OSs with no install required
* New User Guide and other API documentation

For businesses, especially those with multiple locations and those doing outsourcing, checking out Dimdim is a no-brainer. With its “no install needed”, complete real-time unified communication environment, Businesses can allow their clients or employees to share their desktops, show documents and slides, as well as talk, listen, chat, and broadcast via webcam. I can see businesses using it to do remote training classes, code or procedure walkthroughs etc.

Dimdim provides a free, hosted web conferencing service and a downloadable open source version. In addition, it also offers more powerful, paid versions that can support hundreds and even thousands of attendees per meeting.

Thanks again for the latest post. We’re hard at work on the Dimdim 4.0 release and it will be amazing - faster, multiple presenters, Mac screencasting, recording and more. Stay tuned!

Hi Steve,

Keep up the good work. We’ll be watching for the 4.0 release. I love Dimdim and you’re making me salivate more on the new features you guys are planning to roll out. Can’t wait to get my hands and try them.

Thanks.
Mel
